“We want to be able to retain and recruit nurses for our hospitals,' said Dr. Laura Hart. 'We do not want them to close. We want to be able to staff them where patients can get care.”
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Alabama State Nurses Association sent a letter Thursday to the Joint Committee on American Rescue Plan Act Funds to invest more money into recruiting and retaining nurses in the state.
She says 44% of the nurses in the country are 55 and older while only 1% is 25 and younger, which puts the future of the field in a difficult position.“Number one is staffing which is a problem due to number two was increased pay and then they feel undervalued by their employer,” she explained.
